Background: Slow flow/no-reflow (SF-NR) complicates up to 44% of percutaneous #coronary interventions ( #PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (#AMI), worsening prognosis. Electroacupuncture (EA) may mitigate SF-NR, but clinical evidence is limited.Objective: This trial was designed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of intraoperative EA in reducing SF-NR during PCI for AMI patients.Design setting and participants… Continue reading Electroacupuncture for slow flow/no-reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Electroacupuncture to point Baihui confers anxiolytic effects by promoting oxytocin release from PVN in Mice
Background: #Anxiety disorders-including generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder-are highly prevalent psychiatric conditions that impose substantial clinical and social burdens. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that #electroacupuncture (EA) can effectively alleviate anxiety-like behaviors; however, the specific neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying EA's therapeutic effects remain incompletely elucidated.Methods: We first… Continue reading Electroacupuncture to point Baihui confers anxiolytic effects by promoting oxytocin release from PVN in Mice
